It seems the rewards for reaching Rank 5 in Iron Banner are split per the usual. Some people are pissed and some are content.
So far, my Rank 5 rewards were terrible. I got a 310 ghost (I've got a 315 and a 311 ghost) and I got a 313 helmet (I've got a 320 helmet). I'm not Rank 5 with my Warlock yet.
Instead of a random RNG package at Rank 5, what if we were giving a choice between an RNG weapon package with a ghost and an RNG armor package with a ghost.
It's still RNG based but players would have a little more control in what reward they receive. Personally, I'd rather receive weapons instead of armor. I'm much more likely to keep weapons even if they're below my light level. Armor almost immediately gets dismantled unless it's at or above my current light level.
Vote!
EDIT: Just hit rank 5 with my Warlock. I received a 310 ghost (I've got a 315) and a 311 helmet (I've got a 313 helmet).
Seriously, wow.

I went into IB with my Titan 310 and after many hours of play all I got was - 314 Ghost 315 Gloves I bought the scout rifle, but I actually prefer my 310 Cocytus SR4. It beats it hands down. I wasn't expecting the rewards to be worth much, but considering the time it took me to reach rank 5 I did feel underwhelmed. All my gear was ranked to 310 before IB anyway. My main complaints about the whole "Iron Banner" event were the outrageous amount of red bar players cheating. I probably wasted more time reporting these twats than playing. It certainly wasn't fun. This is the overriding problem with Destiny's peer-to-peer system - it stinks. I paid good money to get a high quality 200MBps fibre-optic wired internet connection (in the UK), which is totally useless with Destiny's crap servers. Maybe if I used a can and some string I'd get better service!! Back to playing the awesome "Fallout 4" for me I think! :)
